After my brothers' football games when we were kids, we would all descend on a local restaurant for their wonderful Southwestern stuffed soapaipillas. This recipe takes me back to that delicious childhood memory. Even my Canadian husband raves about these! —Lara Pennell Irving, Texas

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons canola oil
  • Additional oil for frying
  • FILLING:
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • SAUCE:
  • 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Stir in water milk and oil with a fork until a ball forms. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently for 2-3 minutes. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Divide into 4 portions; roll each into a 6-1/2-in. circle.
  • 2. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry circles, 1 at a time, for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  • 3. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the salt, garlic powder and pepper. In a large saucepan, combine the soup, broth, chiles and onion powder; cook for 10 minutes or until heated through.
  • 4. Cut a slit on 1 side of each sopaipilla; fill with 1/2 cup of meat mixture. Top with cheese. Serve with sauce.
